As is common with this cuvee, it shows a relatively modern profile right on release, yet with 6-7 years of cellaring it shows nothing but pure Provencal character and charm. Always based largely on Grenache, yet from a field blend that includes just about all permitted varieties, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Boisrenard (18 months in mostly older barrels) sports a healthy ruby color as well as a Burgundian-like array of sweet black cherries, blackberries, dried flowers, tons of garrigue, and licorice in a medium to full-bodied, fully mature, elegant, silky profile. While it lacks the depth and richness of the 2001, it's a beautiful wine that has no hard edges, sweet fruit and a clean, elegant style. Drink it anytime over the coming 5-7 years.

The luxury cuvee, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Boisrenard, has a very saturated purple color, a big, sweet nose of toast, chocolate, black currants, and black cherries, with hints of licorice and lavender. Lush as well as intriguingly spicy, this multi-layered, beautifully textured and voluptuous Chateauneuf du Pape seems surprisingly accessible for this cuvee, which normally need 2-5 years of bottle age to round into drinkable shape. However, there is plenty of richness, and the wine should evolve for 15 or more years.2007 is a top-flight vintage for Beaurenard, although their efforts in 2001, 2000, and 1998 – not to mention 1990 – eclipse the 2007.No known American importer.
